I have no idea how this is going to turn out, but I've been a satisfied customer of their 'Basic' packages for quite some time. Actually, their announcement came just in time for me, as I'm also running a (small) repository and this is bound to reach the bandwidth limit of the Basic package in the not too distant future (don't underestimate the number of queries the update system of a Linux distro generates...).

Unfortunately, they only offer shared web hosting which excludes the possibility for SSH.I need to mirror the Debian repository and add my own stuff to it. In fact, this is the way LM works (I suppose).This ensures being able to work with update packs, a philosophy that I like very much because it claims a higher stability grade than pointing directly to the Debian testing repositories. I know about the discussions on this forum, but from a maintainer point of view it's the most sane solution: best of both worlds.I hoped this SP also offered VPS or a dedicated server, but they don't.My search is not over yet.

For the first time here just after installing the Unofficial LMDE Xfce UP6 Please be tolerant for my poor english

Just a question: when you say "Don't forget to choose a repository mirror when you're done installing: (...)"

I wonder which repository should I choose:- mint repository ?- Debian testing repository?- another one?

It seems to me that you're searching for your own one...but meantime what should I do ?

I find it's a really good job nevertheless, thanks

Welcome, Ane, to the Linux Mint forum!

I understand the confusion, and as tdockery97 explained, you know now how to choose the fastest available repository.I am looking for a way to run my own repository (just like Linux Mint does), but that has nothing to do with choosing the fastest LM mirror.I hope all went well?

I forgot to mention another installation problem -pertaining to KDE moslty. During a LMDE KDE LiveCD session the computer will frequently blip with this errors apearing in terminal (if running):do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)during installation it appears non-stop and installation fails. I failed three times in two machines. It however did not appear again and managed to install LMDE KDE when I added in the boot command line xforcevesa noapic noacpi nomodest.I added the same boot options in LMDE XFCE and although the error appeared here and there installation was OK.It still does that ..blip though from time to time. The boot is a little unsual instead of sometimes istead of the bluish frame that appears in KDE boot there is a blue gradient strip in the bottom of the screen appearing gradually. Is that normal? I think fedora was (is?) booting like that (?).dmesg shows :[ 387.566552] show_signal_msg: 26 callbacks suppressed[ 387.566562] xfce4-panel[3217]: segfault at a73e648a ip b636e3a9 sp bf91f774 error 4 in liboxygen-gtk.so[b62b3000+14b000][ 388.001937] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002015] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002072] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002131] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002188] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002247] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002304] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002333] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)[ 388.002362] do_IRQ: 0.75 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)if that can give a clue.Anyway it doesn't seem to impede LMDE XFCE's function.

I'm looking for a solution that'll bring more continuity: my own repository. So, if someone knows where I can host that (as cheap as possible), just let me know it.

That's very low on my priority list at the moment, but I don't mind if you write one

Hi wayne128,"Shared Folders" I thought oh! I've missed that one. It's only few weeks I installed xfce 4.10 in LMDE XFCE official from xfcenext repositories(http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=21324) and 4.8 doesn't have that entry in "system". I've set it up and will try it with another pc tomorrow. It's easy and straight forward. Thanks!

Has the weather panel plugin (the 4.10 one) searching (locations) been fixed. The Xfce site said planed for mid-Feb. Otherwise using multiple plugins (locations) don,t work. And if only 1 you can't change the default config.

re: cups-pdf what is the connection between this pkg and being connected to the internet? i ask this because tonight i couldn't update (neither uninstall it for that matter) this pkg connected. it was always stalling at

only disconnecting from the net i managed to get it first updated and then uninstalled

[i know that this is old news but anyway]

It seems to look for a networked printer, and can't find it. That's when it hangs.Disconnecting from the network prevents the search and the install can finish successfully.At least, that's what I think happens.

I didn't understand a thing. googled 'debian how to change kernel options', went there: http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFAQ, found this: Where is the kernel configuration file?The kernel configuration file of Debian Official kernel are available in /boot, named after the kernel release, like /boot/config-2.6.18-6-486, or /boot/config-$(uname -r).Opened that file. two lines contain the term 'mmconfig'this: CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=yand that: # CONFIG_PCI_GOMMCONFIG is not setI added a # infront of the former, saved the file.Rebooted.Same as usual.Anyway I don't know if it's an important issue or not. The system works.

This is proving to be an awesome distro. Its my Main OS right now (4 others installed).Fastest boot, trouble free. Everything I use just works right. Looks Good..I do add a LOT, (just added the latest Liquorix -- 3.7.0-2.dmz.1-liquorix-686 i686 (32 bit), and Nvidia 313.18).
